A Las Vegas cold case sat unsolved for 19 years — until DNA evidence pointed investigators to a convicted serial killer already behind bars. But even now, justice for Keysha Brown remains uncertain.In October 2004, 28-year-old Keysha Tamika Brown was found murdered in her Las Vegas apartment. Witnesses saw a man enter her home and later leave carrying a duffel bag, but despite evidence collected at the scene, investigators had no suspect. Her case went cold for nearly two decades.Then, in 2023, new DNA testing and a fresh review by a cold case detective led police to a shocking conclusion: the person responsible may have been a man already serving multiple life sentences for killing other women in Las Vegas in 2005.In this episode, we share what we were able to learn about Keysha’s life and the lives of three other women investigators say were also killed by the same man: Sheila “Pooka” Quarles, Marilee Coote, and Rena Gonzales. Their stories were largely overshadowed by the sensational details of the crimes. Today, we focus on the victims — who they were, the families who loved them, and the unanswered questions that remain nearly twenty years later.https://sinspod.co/116https://sinspod.co/116transcripthttps://sinspod.co/116bloghttps://sinspod.co/116subBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sins-survivors-a-las-vegas-true-crime-podcast--6173686/support.Domestic Violence Resourceshttp://sinspod.co/resourcesClick here to become a member of our Patreon!https://sinspod.co/patreonVisit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag!

This week, after talking to Brittney Lavoll's son, we're sharing her case again. We were so moved by how well he's doing and the network of support that he and his brothers have had after the tragic loss of their mother.------A young mother of three, Brittney Lavoll, did everything right to escape her abuser—but it wasn’t enough. Her tragic murder sparks urgent questions about domestic violence and gun laws. Plus, the mysterious disappearance of Courtney Lynn Townsend raises troubling questions, as her burned-out car and partial remains leave her family searching for answers.In a 24-hour city like Las Vegas, early morning means many workers are getting their days started while others are clocking out and heading home at the end of a long shift. In the pre-dawn hours of March 25, 2010, a scream broke the silence. Lee and Wade turned their heads toward the Jack in the Box restaurant across the street. Moments later they heard a gunshot and saw a woman collapse in the parking lot. They ran to help, but it was too late. A young mother of three—who had done everything right to escape her abuser—had just been murdered. And the man who killed her? He should never have had a gun.https://sinspod.co/103https://sinspod.co/69sourceshttps://sinspod.co/103bloghttps://sinspod.co/103subhttps://sinspod.co/103transcriptBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sins-survivors-a-las-vegas-true-crime-podcast--6173686/support.Domestic Violence Resourceshttp://sinspod.co/resourcesClick here to become a member of our Patreon!https://sinspod.co/patreonVisit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag!

Megan Ruiz and Jimmy Ramirez had a rocky relationship, which eventually erupted in violence. We hear about these cases often, but the sentencing in this one is an outrage.On July 3rd, 2024, two gunshots rang out inside the Crosswinds Apartments in central Las Vegas. Metro Officers responded and were told a story about a woman in the middle of a “manic episode,” a woman who had supposedly attacked her boyfriend with a fork. But—as we’ve seen in so many cases—that version of events was not even close to the whole story.What really happened involved a long pattern of domestic violence calls to that same apartment, and once detectives started untangling Jimmy Ramirez’s account of what happened, almost every piece of it started falling apart.https://sinspod.co/102https://sinspoc.co/102sourceshttps://sinspoc.co/102bloghttps://sinspoc.co/102subhttps://sinspoc.co/102transcriptBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sins-survivors-a-las-vegas-true-crime-podcast--6173686/support.Domestic Violence Resourceshttp://sinspod.co/resourcesClick here to become a member of our Patreon!https://sinspod.co/patreonVisit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag!

When you talk to people who knew Eric Nell-ums, they don’t start with how he died. They start with how he lived. They talk about his laughter, his kindness, his love for family, and the way he looked out for everyone around him. He was a soldier, a father, a brother, an uncle, and a friend, and someone who carried joy into every room he entered.But on a quiet morning in Phenix City, Alabama, that joy was stolen from everyone who loved him. Eric was shot and killed in his own driveway before the sun came up, and more than twenty years later, no one has been held accountable.https://sinspod.co/100https://sinspod.co/100bloghttps://sinspod.co/100sourceshttps://sinspod.co/100subhttps://sinspod.co/missingteensBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sins-survivors-a-las-vegas-true-crime-podcast--6173686/support.Domestic Violence Resourceshttp://sinspod.co/resourcesClick here to become a member of our Patreon!https://sinspod.co/patreonVisit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag!

Most people in 2025 would never just leave their front door open, their credit cards, or identity information just lying around, but many times, that's what we’re doing online, sharing so much personal information out on platforms like Facebook and Instagram, and we often don't give it a second thought.For many shady people on the internet, that’s an opportunity to take advantage of unsuspecting people, including those who are older or less tech-savvy, as well as influencers, small business owners, and celebrities who have come to depend on their social media and have it tied to their brand.These bad actors use their influence and skills to exert leverage and power over others, and in one recent case, use that power to threaten, humiliate, and destroy people’s reputations and livelihoods.https://sinspod.co/98https://sinspod.co/98sourceshttps://sinspod.co/98bloghttps://sinspod.co/98subhttps://sinspod.co/98transcriptWe also cover the case of Daniel Reza who has been missing since 2019 in the area of Mount Charleston. https://sinspod.co/98missinghttps://sinspod.co/DanielRezaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sins-survivors-a-las-vegas-true-crime-podcast--6173686/support.Domestic Violence Resourceshttp://sinspod.co/resourcesClick here to become a member of our Patreon!https://sinspod.co/patreonVisit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag!

Carlos was bleeding from his head, and both were desperate to get help. They approached a neighbor and asked him to call 911 because they had just survived a violent home invasion, and they needed medical assistance for their roommate and friend, Tzatzi Sanchez.

In 1987, near Lake Mead at Bonelli Landing, a rancher discovered a human skull and remains wrapped in a yellow blanket and buried in a shallow grave. They became another unidentified Jane Doe, her identity lost to time.Nearly 40 years later, on July 15, 2025, forensic scientists matched dental records and confirmed that those remains belonged to San Diego nurse Carol Ann Riley, who vanished in 1986 after a date with a man later revealed to be serial murderer Robert Dean Weeks.https://sinspod.co/93https://sinspod.co/93bloghttps://sinspod.co/93sourceshttps://sinspod.co/93sub (Substack Article)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sins-survivors-a-las-vegas-true-crime-podcast--6173686/support.Domestic Violence Resourceshttp://sinspod.co/resourcesClick here to become a member of our Patreon!https://sinspod.co/patreonVisit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag!

The sound of an argument carried down the hallway of a central Las Vegas home. It was around two in the afternoon on September 2, 2023, when Juan and his family heard his roommate, 46-year-old Danelle Mask, yell, “I’m going to kill you,” and 59-year-old Jason Williams shout back, “Do it.”Juan knew it was best to take his kids and leave the house immediately. An hour or so later, Jason would be found slumped and bleeding on the porch of that same home, a single stab wound to his chest.https://sinspod.co/92https://sinspod.co/92bloghttps://sinspod.co/92sourceshttps://sinspod.co/92sub (Substack Article)Domestic Violence Resourceshttp://sinspod.co/resourcesClick here to become a member of our Patreon!https://sinspod.co/patreonVisit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag!

Las Vegas has long been plagued by high rates of violent crime—and a disturbingly low rate of resolution. In this anthology episode, we share the stories of four unsolved murders: Eugene Bell, Brittney Biggs, Celia Luna Delgado, and John Norris.Each case is tragic, each one baffling—and each deserves answers. Some of these victims were barely covered in the press. Others were quickly forgotten. But all left behind, grieving families who are still waiting for justice. We’re bringing their stories back into the spotlight in hopes that someone out there knows something—and is finally ready to come forward.https://sinspod.co/90https://sinspod.co/90bloghttps://sinspod.co/90sourceshttps://sinspod.co/90sub (Substack Article)Domestic Violence Resourceshttp://sinspod.co/resourcesClick here to become a member of our Patreon!https://sinspod.co/patreonVisit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag!

When someone is murdered in Las Vegas, headlines tend to follow a pattern: mention the crime and include a short, impersonal description of the victim. In March of 2018, the headlines read, “homeless woman murdered.” That was the phrase police and the press used to describe the death of Kelly Kazoon.But Kelly wasn’t just a homeless woman. She was a widow, a mother, and a friend. The man who killed her would try to say he had just blacked out and couldn’t remember what happened, but the evidence told a different story. https://sinspod.co/89https://sinspod.co/89bloghttps://sinspod.co/89sourceshttps://sinspod.co/89sub (Substack Article)Domestic Violence Resourceshttp://sinspod.co/resourcesClick here to become a member of our Patreon!https://sinspod.co/patreonVisit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag!

Today in place of our standard Swing Shift episode, we're bringing you a missing person, also from PNW Haunts & Homicides. Our policy is never to have a missing person be anything other than free, in the spirit of raising the profile of these important cases and in the hope that people like Maureen will be found.Here are their show notes. Please pay them a visit at https://sinspod.co/pnwWe remind you that we always have resources for those experiencing domestic violence listed on our website at https://sinspod.co/resourceshttps://sinspod.co/87bonushttps://sinspod.co/87bonusblog---In June 2013, 19-year-old Maureen Leianuhea “Anu” Kelly set off on a camping trip with friends in the vast and unspoiled wilderness Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The backdrop was both scenic and rugged. What was supposed to be a carefree adventure outdoors turned into a chilling mystery when Anu walked away from their campsite—completely nude, save for her fanny pack—and never returned.Despite extensive search efforts, the only trace of her was a set of footprints leading toward a road. Her extremely limited supplies, tucked into the fanny pack she’d donned, would do little to stave off any number of threats she may have encountered in the woods. Over the years, theories have swirled - while she may have been seeking a spiritual awakening, her whereabouts have remained unknown since that fateful night. Did she fall victim to the harsh wilderness? Or is it possible that something far more sinister happened that night?Join us as we retrace Anu’s final known steps, explore the many theories surrounding her mysterious disappearance, and discuss the latest developments, including the discovery of human remains in the Big Lava Bed located in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in August of 2024. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sins-survivors-a-las-vegas-true-crime-podcast--6173686/support.Domestic Violence Resourceshttp://sinspod.co/resourcesClick here to become a member of our Patreon!https://sinspod.co/patreonVisit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag!

When people think about Lake Mead, they picture sunshine, water, and long weekends. But the stories we’re telling in this episode don’t end up in a photo album. They end in silence, suspicion, and grief.A missing mother. A woman whose name no one knew. A Marine who never made it home. A child left to drown. And a young immigrant weighed down in the water.These are stories the lake didn’t hide.They're stories we’ve chosen not to see.https://sinspod.co/86https://sinspod.co/86bloghttps://sinspod.co/86sourcesDomestic Violence Resourceshttp://sinspod.co/resourcesClick here to become a member of our Patreon!https://sinspod.co/patreonVisit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag!

In the summer of 2022, Lake Mead dropped to its lowest levels in almost a century. The shoreline crept back. Boats that had been swallowed years ago sat beached in the sand like ghosts. But that wasn't all the lake revealed.Lake Mead has long been a getaway for families, boaters, and hikers. But it’s also one of the deadliest national parks in the country. People vanish. Accidents happen. But every so often, the lake gives up a secret.https://sinspod.co/85https://sinspod.co/85bloghttps://sinspod.co/85sourcesDomestic Violence Resourceshttp://sinspod.co/resourcesClick here to become a member of our Patreon!https://sinspod.co/patreonVisit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag!

“When I found out I was going to jail, I trusted in the system. I figured everything would be okay as long as I told them the truth. I had no idea how wrong I'd be.”In July of 2001, Blaise was a teenager with no criminal history, no motive, and no evidence linking her to the crime. And yet, she was charged with murder and facing the rest of her life behind bars.No physical evidence tied her to the scene, she didn’t know the victim, Duran Bailey, and she was 170 miles away when he was killed. But none of that mattered.This week, we cover what happened next—and how the system twisted the truth and stole 16 years of Blaise Lobato’s life.https://sinspod.co/79sources (Same as part 1)https://sinspod.co/80blogDomestic Violence Resourceshttp://sinspod.co/resourcesClick here to become a member of our Patreon!https://sinspod.co/patreonVisit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag!

When Blaise fled the Budget Suites parking lot in May of 2001, she knew she had done what she had to do to protect herself. Three months later, when a man was found dead on the opposite side of town, Las Vegas police ignored her alibi, ignored forensic evidence, and ignored common sense to chase a rumor. That would ultimately cost Blaise 16 years of her life. https://sinspod.co/79sourceshttps://sinspod.co/79blogDomestic Violence Resourceshttp://sinspod.co/resourcesClick here to become a member of our Patreon!https://sinspod.co/patreonVisit and join our Patreon now and access our ad-free episodes and exclusive bonus content & schwag!
